Please join us this year in supporting the International Women’s House (IWH), a local shelter for battered immigrant women and their children. The Guild has agreed to make:
• Pillowcases for women and children to welcome them to this 90-day shelter, and
• Quilts of any size for children and families. IWF will give the quilts to the residents as they leave the facility for permanent safe housing.
We will start collecting the pillowcases and quilts immediately, on a monthly basis, and deliver them to our IWH liaison. The specific location of this 8 bedroom house is secret, however, it is located in the Stone Mountain area.
IWH’s mission is to provide a safe haven and supportive services to women and children who are victims of domestic violence, abuse and sex trafficking with a focus on cultural sensitivity and sufficiency. Supportive services include: legal advocacy; immigration assistance; child care; transitional housing assistance; job training and job placement; mental/physical health assessment; parenting skills training; children’s programs; and support groups.
